Halal Restaurants in New York, NY

“I didn’t know what I was missing - Uyghur Lagman. It is slightly different than Uzbek, but certainly authentic. The hand-pulled noodles here made all the difference, as did the kind and hospitable young woman at the counter. Wish I lived nearby so I could come here more often!“

“Tried DHC and honestly it did not disappoint! The chicken is tender, juicy and flavourful. The meal options are not too expensive either! It was so good we came again the next day. Also it is halal certified!

It's also worth trying their slushe drinks! So much better than the 7/11 stores.

Only negative is that there is not enough seating and it can get super busy. It is a 10/10 and would recommend.“

“Great food it was beautiful outside quiet. I enjoyed my dinner I recommend everyone to go.“

“It's going to sound like I know this guy but I don't. I go to Halal guys, but the smell from this truck just got the best of me. All 3 sauces, the rice, the veggies... STELLAR! The line wasn't unreasonable, there were about 5 people ahead and I still got my food within 15 mins. Honestly, this is one of those plates of food you take a cab for.

You guys made a forever customer out of me!“

“Hands down the BEST halal food in Manhattan. We had them cater our wedding and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the food was. It’s our favorite late night restaurant in our neighborhood and we knew we needed them on the menu for our wedding. Huge thanks to the staff for the care of our special order, and our weekly orders :)“

“Food is delicious,specially halal food.“

“If you’re looking for one of the best gyro spots in downtown Bowling Green, Continental Gyro is a must-visit. The food is always fresh, the gyros are packed with flavor, and the portions are generous. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this place is definitely worth a stop. Highly recommended!“

“Having a meal ordered from Shah's in Inwood is like having Thanksgiving dinner with every order because the food is outstanding, consistent, fresh, and the service is excellent!! My son and I have been ordering from Shah's 2 - 3 times a week for the past 8 months because the restaurant never fails. My son orders the meat combo and I order either the falafel or fish platter. Both of us order everything: white, hot, and barbecue sauce; chick peas and black beans. In addition to the cukes and tomatoes, customers can also add olives and pickled red cabbage on their meal!! Tiebah and Thaliah are always welcoming, and always remember our names and our orders. We are never disappointed!!!“

“lamb chicken combo plate was magnificent !“

“The food was spectacular! The staff were superb!! Sultan platter for 2 fed a family of 4.“

“First time trying both the Chicken & Beef Doner Boxes.I was pleasantly surprised how GOOD everything was! The flavourful meats with fresh veggies and feta, with or without sauces, all combined with the unique bread is a great new dinning experience unlike anything else. I highly recommend giving this a try ! We will definitely be return customers ! The ladies were quite helpful and informative about the food and it's history as well as super nice !“

“I went with my bro to try this chicken spot and it was top. I ordered the big back burger and it crushed !! The combination of all the toppings plus the special big back sauce was so good. My bro ordered the Alito fries , I tried some of the chicken - soft and tasty. We shared waffles and chicken as well. The waffles were great. The plus thing - all of it was halal! I definitely would recommend anyone to eat here and I will be visiting again soon!“

“Royal Grill Halal on 44th & 6th Ave is a true Midtown gem (I've worked nearby for 30 years).

Highly recommended for delicious food and a nice experience every time.“

Highly recommend Shahs Halal Foods for anyone looking for delicious halal food and excellent service. We will definitely be back! 🍽👍“

“Great guy and top notch food! Delight in every bite!!

His chicken over rice is great, the chicken stick kebabs are wonderful (my personal favorite!) Also love his hot dogs and lamb over rice.

He is very friendly gentleman with excellent service. I go to him every week for lunch!“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place absolutely deserves one. The lamb over rice was unbelievable. The lamb had this incredible taste on it that packed so much flavor, and it was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and seasoned so well that every bite was better than the last. The rice was fluffy, the sauces tied everything together perfectly, and the portions were generous. If you’re anywhere nearby, you’re seriously missing out if you don’t try this spot. This is the kind of meal people would travel for. Easily one of the best lamb over rice platters I’ve ever had. And it’s Halal 👍🏽“

“Delicious food! Prices were reasonable and the food was great. Service was good and atmosphere was not important since it’s just a food truck. I will also say that the location is very convenient being right next to the subway entrance and Columbia campus.“

“Always been a fan of halal food carts since they are affordable and filling at the same time. This cart in particular offers a buy 10 get 1 free card/promotion their food is also consistent and well prepared in front of you as well, highly recommended this spot for the best bang for your buck“

“Food is great and service is always amazing!“

“Great place to eat Uzbekistan halal bbq food. Very nice family sitting area. Highly recommended if you are visiting Times Square New York“

“Popped in here whilst on a business trip with 2 colleagues. All had different sandwiches on Hero rolls. Quick, great service and sandwiches were great too. Sometimes there's two much of one ingredient, not enough of another but perfect combination. We only came here on our last day, wish it had been our first, would probably have come every day“

“Lot of spots have so so food, this one is not it. Ordered a tikka masala because I walked by and it smelled really good. The owner making the food was really nice and the food was just as good. Strong flavors, fresh ingredients and a fire taste!“

“The flavors here keep calling me back whenever I'm nearby. Their menu combines quality and service with sensible pricing. The staff performed exactly as expected at this quality restaurant. They serve just enough for the right cost. Tasty food options, considerate staff, and a nice setting make this restaurant good.“

“Highest quality halal food cart in the city! The owner always treats me right. The chicken over rice is amazing and the spicy/brown rice is the BEST in NYC.“

“Best Halal Thai Really good food. Loved their t-bone steak. Worst part was forced 15.00% tip :/“

“This cart is the gold standard. My son and I got lamb over rice and it was absolutely perfect. The lamb is tender and flavorful, and they use quality ingredients. The prices are very reasonable—this is our go to food cart in NYC. I am told this is an award winning food cart—it is well deserved!“

“I am a fiend for Shawarma. After looking up the best places in NYC, I walked some blocks to get here. I was not disappointed. Where have I been that I have missed this delicacy for so many years.

I will say that the seating here is super minimal, and in the afternoon, you are absolutely baking in the sun. That part was not super enjoyable.

With another review down, I can say that my life’s journey has unfolded once again. To many more Shawarmas, and to many more reviews for Google Maps.“

“Visited NYC from the UK and already planned to eat here after seeing the food posts and reviews and it didn’t disappoint ! Food was beyond amazing with loads of choice and huge portions. Was so good we visited twice during our short stay visit. A definite place to go if you want good vegan food 👌“

“Big plus for me is the variety in the salad. Chick peas, corn, onion,black beans and tomato. Service was quick (and it was a decently long line) and friendly.

Only loses a star for being a little stingy on the meat portion“

“Went there with 2 kids who were craving for real asian food after 2 weeks travelling around the US. Thought they would cry of joy upon finding out the place serves Milo Dinosaur, Bandung, pineapple fried rice, roti canai etc. :)) Food was great, very authentic. Warm and efficient service. Well done and thank you.“

“lamb chicken combo plate was magnificent !“

“Food was great, had the Falafel and hummus appetizer
And then shared the mixed grill.
Everything was good, but in particular, the Lamb chop was delicious and the Lamb Adana and Chicken gyro were out favorites.
I'll be back“
